Oyster Report 12.31 HNY

Ninigret Nectar
Harvest location:
 Ninigret Pond, RI
Farmer:
Matt Beham

How they are grown: The grow out starts in May, cages are dried twice a week, resulting in heart shells and strong adductor muscles. They are harvested beginning at year three.

How they taste: The Pond is connected to a breachway so the flow inside the pond is limited, taking a few days to have a full turn of ocean water, translating to the low salinity.
Super smooth with a subtle turnip-esque flavor. Think earthy root vegetable goodness.

Submarines
Harvest Location:
South Thomaston, ME
Farmers: Ralph Hamill

How they are grown:  Farmed on over 7 acres in a salt marsh estuary. Oysters seed in upwellers before being moved to floating bags.  

How they taste: These shells are squeaky clean and petite! The meat has a blast of brine upfront, bit of umami, and finishes strong with a buttery Maldon crisp.
